Tribune News Service interviewed Tax Partner Janis Cowhey for an article about the importance of couples in 2nd or 3rd marriages discussing finances and inheritance.

"It's all about the conversation," says Janis Cowhey, an attorney and co-leader of the Modern Family & LGBT Services practice at accounting firm Marcum LLP. Just as millennials are perhaps more comfortable talking about money and inheritance issues than previous generations, she says, couples need to talk more freely with each other.

Raffa - Marcum's Nonprofit & Social Sector Group's strength and competitive edge lies in the fact that we provide expertise and superior service across a variety of essential interrelated financial, technology and consulting competencies.

LIBN talked to Marcum's Long Island managing partner, Carolyn Mazzenga, about her path to the top, as well as the challenges the profession faces in retaining top women and developing them into future firm leaders.
